Carbohydrates provide 4 kcal/g, fats provide 9 kcal/g, and proteins provide 4 kcal/g. Calculating the energy: Carbohydrates: 250g x 4 kcal/g = 1000 kcal, Fat: 66g x 9 kcal/g = 594 kcal, Protein: 102g x 4 kcal/g = 408 kcal. Total = 2002 kcal. Percentages: Carbohydrates: 1000/2000 = 50%, Fat: 594/2000 = 30%, Protein: 408/2000 = 20%.
